                     HONORING LEADERS AND ADVOCATES

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a group of Westchester 
residents who have taken on the role of civic involvement on issues of 
importance to the local, county, State, and Federal level. I am 
speaking about the leaders and advocates in my home district.
  These individuals have taken on that most traditional of American 
values, which is active citizenship in matters of public policy. We 
have seen our values such as the right to vote, the rights of free 
speech and due process, and the rights to benefits earned through 
honest work or service to our Nation under attack.
  It will take everyday citizens to stand up and say, no, we don't 
agree with what is happening today. We see a better future for America.
  I recognize Margaret Bradbury, Kim Snyder, and Rhiannon Navin in New 
Rochelle; Jenny Geer in Mamaroneck; Suki van Dijk in Rye; Khris Tahmin 
in Eastchester; Jenny Bernhard and Liz Scafidi in White Plains; Gaby 
Bordwin and Marjorie Hsu in the Rivertowns; Eileen O'Connor and 
Elizabeth de Bethune in Yonkers; Susan Van Dolsen of Harrison; and 
Shannon Powell of Mamaroneck.
  The work they are doing has earned our respect and deserves our 
praise.
